“No one ever held Colorado responsible for them leaving the league. They did something they felt they had to do,” Self said. “There were so many rumors they could be left out in the cold, too. Everybody respected that without question. There are no hard feelings there. With the climate, the landscape at that particular time (summer, 2010), with all the talk about Texas, Oklahoma, A&M, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, all those schools going to the Pac-10 back then … all the talk before that about Missouri and Nebraska going to the Big Ten … Colorado was just making sure they had a conference affiliation. No hard feelings about that.”

BTW, while looking for Self's quotes on the MU leaving for the SEC, I saw something from the Omaha paper that suggested that the Big 10 is looking at KU and North Carolina. To that, Bill Self just chuckled.
